You probably need to set the connector to accept any recipient. See this article: http://www.omegaprojex.com/index.php/2010/05/11/how-to-set-up-an-anonymous-receiver-and-allow-external-relay-in-exchange-2007-or-2010/ Sorry for the long url. I'm unable to use tinyurl.com at work. When all else...

Instead of looking for $_.forwardingaddress -ne $null, change your search parameter to look for anyone forwarding to the email address in question use -like (instead of -eq) "*joe.schmoe*". The * is a wildcard and will cause the command to return all mailboxes forwarding to an address that...

Are you using the Message Tracking tool, or the Tracking Log Explorer tool? You should be using the Tracking Log Explorer. Since you mention getting a "red x", I suspect you are using the Message Tracking tool. When all else fails, read the book!

Check the OS version on any iPhones and iPads that connect to Exchange. iOS 6.1 is know to cause such issues, so if any of your devices are running this version upgrade them to the most current iOS. When all else fails, read the book!

Check the Delivery Options on the Mail Flow Settings tab of the mailbox properties to make sure an additional delivery point isn't causing a message loop. When all else fails, read the book!

Please disregard my previous post. Sometimes it helps to read the original post carefully :-). When all else fails, read the book!

This may be a stupid question, but my motto is the only stupid questions are the ones that aren't asked. So, here goes: Have to enabled the certificate for Exchange? (enable-exchangecertificate -thumbnail xxxxxxxxxx -services IIS,SMTP, etc). When all else fails, read the book!

Sorry, my mistake. I see you did mention changing the send connector setting. Did you also change the default receive connector setting? When all else fails, read the book!

You cannot have a working Exchange 2010 environment without a Hub Transport server. If you have only one mailbox server, add this role to it. EVERY message has to go through a HT server, even if the sending and receiving mailboxes are on the same server. You also cannot send mail outside of your...

The Edge subscription is for the entire Exchange environment. You cannot separate subscriptions based on Exchange version. So your environment is working as it should. Since you subscribed your Edge transports from your 2010 HT, you won't have to do anything when you remove your 2007 HT servers...

The proper solution is to point your external DNS entry for CAS (OWA, etc.) to the 2010 CAS, then let 2010 CAS redirect connections for users still on 2007 to the 2007 CAS. All that is required to make the redirection work is a DNS entry A record for 'legacy' with the IP address(es) of your 2007...

Communication between Outlook and Exchange Server is encrypted by default. You can deselect this, but I don't know why anyone would. TLS will encrypt the data between the two internet end points (i.e. SMTP gateway, such as an Edge Transport server. Even products such as Zix do not encrypt the...

If you run the "get-mailboxstatistics | fl" command on a single mailbox you will see all of the fields available to you, and the user name is not one of them. If you are good at scripting, which I am not, there is a way to combine the output of the get-mailbox command and that of the...

I have a not-yet-fully-implemented Exchange 2010 environment coexisting with our 2007 environment. What isn't yet implemented is external access to OWA and ActiveSync (that should happen tomorrow). OWA works just fine using the internal URLs for both 2010 CAS, and there are no issues for the...

Read up on Roles Based Administration in Exchange 2010. You can delegate this kind of function to one or more HR people, and they can make these changes through the OWA Administration console. When all else fails, read the book!
